Nutramigen baby formula recalled over possible bacterial contamination
CBSN
Reckitt/Mead Johnson Nutrition issued a voluntary recall for baby formula that may be contaminated with Cronobacter sakazakii bacteria, the Food and Drug Administration said Sunday.
While there have been no reports of illnesses connected to Nutramigen Hypoallergenic Powdered Infant Formula products, the company said there was a possibility of Cronobacter sakazakii bacteria contamination in products sampled outside the U.S.
Illnesses connected to Cronobacter are rare, but they can be deadly in infants, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Cronobacter sakazakii, a germ found naturally in the environment, can live in dry foods, including powdered infant formula, powdered milk, herbal teas and starches. Powdered formula can get contaminated in the home after being opened.
After nearly four years, the trial of Ashley Benefield, the former ballerina charged with second-degree murder for shooting her estranged husband Doug, began in the summer of 2024. In the lead-up to the trial, a small group appeared near the courthouse to support Ashley's claims of self-defense. EVA BENEFIELD (On TikTok): So, I think that we should probably stop shoving cameras in 6-year-old's faces when they have no idea what's going on … Ashley texted Doug: "Wait what did she die of again?" Ashley texted back: "I thought I have heard you say something about medications or something…? Like bad drugs…?" JOHN SANT to 911: [It was] right next door to me. She just came over. Her estranged husband attacked her and she says she shot him. EVA BENEFIELD (On TikTok | June 28, 2023): Next week is her first in-person hearing …which means I'm gonna see her in person for the first time since … she killed my Dad. JOHN SANT TO 911: Calm down honey, calm down. (Ashley can be heard crying in the background) …She's with me now, quite upset, the weapon is here. … She says he attacked her, and she shot him. EVA BENEFIELD (on TikTok): "My dad got the justice that he deserves."
